    There are 2 ways you can reset your bios.

    1. On the motherboard there is a small watch battery. Remove this battery along with the power cable from the power supply. Hold down the power button to fully discharge the system. Wait 2-3 minutes then reinstall the battery and plug in your system. Your reset is now complete

    2. Some motherboards have a 3 pin jumper by the battery. Lets say that the jumper is on pins 2 and 3. Remove the jumper while the machine is OFF and place onto pins 1 and 2. Power on your machine for a minute. (Note: Your system will not POST). Shutdown your machine and put the jumper back to pins 2 and 3. Your reset is now complete


    This is a great troubleshooting step for those of you having POST issues or no POSTing at all. Like other troubleshooting steps, this will not always work but usually will depending on the problem.

    Most of the time newer Bios files have to be extracted then the exe file has to be launched. Then it will ask you to insert a formatted floppy. Also newer boards have q flash option which is quite convinient. Get in your bios and select the q flash option if available then select the name of the new bios file and the q flash component will do the rest of the work. If not the system will boot from the floppy and give you instructions on flashing the bios.
